Right, the adaptations of Western novels are not my favourite Ghibli movies either, but in terms of execution alone, it seems to me that Yonebayashi was following the Ghibli template quite nicely, while Goro Miyazaki's releases until now seemed somewhat rushed and lacking in terms of animation smoothness, if I may…

With the retirement of Hayao Miyazaki and Hisao Takahata, the main issue for Ghibli could be the replacement of their iconic creators. Hiromasa Yonebayashi (Arietty's director, plus the just released in Japan "When Marnie was there") looks like he's got what it takes to carry on the Ghibli heritage, and I'm willing to…

Yep, can do without the effword in my Katamari, unless it's in a WTF kind of way.

Indeed, that's where the embedded videos on SmacQ's link come from. ;)

Thanks. I knew this moment would come when I got my copy. Now, time to wipe the dust off that puppy!

Oh yes, please leave it here, for the love of goat.

That Zenigata alone is reason enough for me to see the movie. Asano Tadanobu never disappoints.

I'm not as disappointed visually as I am aurally. It looks OK to me, but the biggest letdown is the music: no Lupin the 3rd theme... Leave the soundtrack to Konishi Yasuharu and the fine crew at Readymade Records and I'll be a happy bunny.

Damn, same here: whatever Tanakasan's got on sale, I'm just a sucker for it... Art books, check. OSTs? Check. That Aigis nendoroid? Check...

I feel your pain! That taught me that I should have multiple save files... But still, it seems like keeping track is too much work.

Marie, an exclusive character in the Vita's version, with her own social link.

You're absolutely right.

Yep. Damn region locking... At least, we'll be able to forget about it with the PS games, as long as there is no DLC.

Wow, that reminds me so much of the "2010" game for the ColecoVision.! Thanks for the reminder. Now just let me swallow in my nostalgy...

Well, for the sake of science, I did. And Bar Bar Bar was quite OK, starting with some vibes reminiscent from the 60s and ending with quite contemporary poppy beats. 5 minutes later, I still have the "pumpin'" bit stuck in my head. Dunno if I should thank Bashcraft for that...

Ok, I'll be honest: I was more thinking of bringing sexual release to single guys...

A sex doll releases a single... That makes sense, in more than one way

And a few reviews I forgot to add:

To me, it's the Focal XS 2.1 that takes the cake.
